Developed Utopian Shortlinks Feature
In the next few days, Utopian will get its own shortlinks feature! This will help you easily create shorter links out of your contributions without relying on other services. I developed this code myself and the pull request was merged already.
The feature will go public in the next few days!
Short Link UI
Whenever you open a post (when this change debuts), you'll see a new button right below the post title:
Clicking on the button reveals the shortlink of your post, which you can copy easily (Cmd+C
or Ctrl+C
):
Visiting the link suggested will automatically bring you to your post. This is ideal for using in IRC chat, Twitter, and wherever the long length of normal links is too much.
A lot of the time using the longer link might be better (for example, in Utopian's Discord) as it gives more information about the post, but this provides you with more of a choice.
Thanks for reading,

proof of work: merged pull requests

I haz question about Utopia.
I'm a user...not a geek
I have some ideas I would like to see implemented.
I have zero idea what the code would be like or what would be needed to make it happen.
is utopian the place to post my wishlist?
Yes! https://utopian.io -> press "Login" -> press "+ New Contribution" at the top, then choose the "Suggestions" category
That's exactly what it's for!
gotcha.
I haz ideas.
Many, many, many idea.
you may live to regret this.
Thank you for the contribution. It has been approved.
Good work! Maybe we can also allow users to choose other third party URL shorten API if they like?
You can contact us on Discord.

All users can always use other tools to shorten their links! However, when you see something like https://bit.ly/somelettershere, you can't have confidence in the link. For all you know, the link could be a fake version of the site, some virus, or anything like that.
https://utopian.io/u/something is not as short as other short-links but you can have more confidence in it. If we have money to buy domains like
utp.co
orutp.ly
or something we can make another service with even shorter Utopian links.Thanks for your ideas!
